Here at Antioch we have our ILL forms open and have not run into any
trouble yet.  But our students are all graduate students and  presumably
left their incorrigiblity behind.  We do have trouble with them getting
the information input correctly - ie. full citation with pages, etc.

We have an open access reference service and that I am going to move
behind a security screen because we get a fair number of
non-student/staff/fac requests.

Many thanks,
